ok guys, here's the real scoop on suzi q, from a guy who got it from the real suzi q that dale hawkins is talkin' about. Stan Lewis is the legendary "Stan the Record Man" in Shreveport, Louisiana. Back in the early days, a young teen guitarist by the of James Burton, along with Dale Hawkins and others, were always at Stan Lewis' home jammin' and writin'. Stan just happened to have a beautiful, (and she still is) daughter by the name of Suzi...
Suzi was just a toddler then, but she had already won the hearts of the guys... so... they jammed a song and called it suzi q in honor of her! James Burton is the guy who is responsible for the famous guitar lick...
I know this to be fact, because James still lives here in Shreveport and told me so, and Suzi ust' to date a friend of mine, and she told me so too! Glad i could help!
